Zakah on the money collected for developing a plot of land

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have a piece of land, and I have saved a sum of money for its development. Is there zakah on this money?

Answer:
Yes. If the money reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and a lunar year has passed over it, zakah is obligatory on it for any purpose, whether he saved it for his needs, for marriage, to pay off a debt, or otherwise. This is because it is money that has reached the nisab and a lunar year has passed over it, so zakah is obligatory on it. Yes.
